Welcome

Welcome to the Asexual Visibility and Education Network. AVEN hosts the world's largest online asexual community as well as a large archive of resources on asexuality. AVEN strives to create open, honest discussion about asexuality among sexual and asexual people alike.

Unlike celibacy, which is a choice to abstain from sexual activity, asexuality is an intrinsic part of who we are, just like other sexual orientations. Asexual people have the same emotional needs as everybody else and are just as capable of forming intimate relationships. To find out more about asexuality, click here. For media and speaking requests please contact aven.pt@gmail.com.

COVID-19 update - April 2020 We hope everyone is keeping well during the pandemic. We have put together a brief list of resources and support groups directed at the ace and aro community for the lockdown in many cities.

To get involved with ace and aro vis/ed activities or for media and speaker requests, please email aven.pt@gmail.com. If you have a question about asexuality, please email aven.qa@gmail.com.
